NORTHERN LIGHTS

1. Can I see the Northern Lights all year round?

In Lapland, the Northern Lights are visible from mid-August to mid-April, when the nights are dark enough.Although the aurora occurs year-round, it cannot be seen during summer because of the Midnight Sun, when the sky stays bright 24 hours a day.

2. Which date and what time is best to see the Northern Lights? 
 
Northern Lights forecasts are only accurate 1 to 3 hours in advance, and weather in Lapland
can change quickly. We monitor both cloud cover and aurora activity throughout the day
to choose the best departure time and location.

We recommend booking your preferred date early and letting us know your full stay in Rovaniemi. Based on conditions and availability, we can help adjust your booking to aim for the best possible night.

3. Is the intensity, color, and size of the Northern Lights always the same?

Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee the intensity, color, or scale of the Northern Lights, as they are a natural phenomenon. Sometimes they fill the sky with vibrant movement, while other times they appear as a faint white arc, only visible through the camera.

4. Does the KP index tell me if I will see the Northern Lights?

Not exactly. The KP index is only one of many factors and does not guarantee visibility.
In Lapland, it is possible to see the aurora even with a KP as low as 0 or 1, as long as the sky is dark and clear. This is why we monitor several real-time indicators to choose the best time and location.

5. How long does the Aurora Photography Expedition last?

The Aurora Photography Expedition typically lasts between 3 to 10 hours, depending on weather conditions and aurora activity. The duration includes transportation and stops for photos. If clear skies are nearby, the tour may finish earlier. Our main goal is always to give you the best possible chance to see and capture the Northern Lights!
